Re: Moderator(s)?

If you notice any instances of anyone breaking the rules that have been established in our Code of Conduct, feel free to report it.

At this point, I have not noticed any behaviors which violate the terms of the Code of Conduct myself...other than the occassional banning of spammers who try to use our subforums to try to sell their crap...so there are no actions to be taken that I am aware of (although I've been away from the board this weekend...the weather in the Northeast has been too nice...so the vast majority of the first page of this board has new unread messages that I haven't seen yet).

See, I understand the mods issues with this sort of thing. The guy is obviously here to troll. His posts are merely for his entertainment and not ours. But, he hasn't broken any rules. When you don't have specific rules for banning criteria you have people making subjective calls. When I was a mod here that didn't go over so well...people complained about that as well. You can't have it both ways. You either have a situation where members feel others are being banned inappropriately or are allowed to stay despite their trolling.

I haven't read all of his posts... but it is clear his intent is to stir the pot. His screen name indicates as much.

Some people get bent out of shape just because others don't see their views.

I think that is what makes the message board enjoyable. If we all agreed - then we could wrap it up with a quick...

i'm a big believer in the "greater good" theory...why should one troll be allowed to ruin it for everybody else?
